There are very few grants for 'for-profit' businesses. There are some that only offer $500 to $1,000 and are very competitive and take a long time to get. These grants are usually designed to drive user to the business of the grant maker.
Most grants are geared for non-profit businesses and must relate to the granting foundations purpose.
There are government grants - but these are very specific in nature - try grants.gov.
If you are looking for expansion capital - you might want to try some alternative funding sources.
